Sunday Service - Dry Bones and a Nation Reborn

“Son of man, can these bones live?” God set Ezekiel down in a valley full of dry bones and asked the one question no human being can answer. This Sunday, the prophetic arc of the series begins.

In this ninth message of The Ancient Promise, Pastor Kevin Cox walks through Ezekiel 36 and 37 — the four promises God makes to a dead nation: to gather them home for His name’s sake, to give them a new heart and a new spirit, to raise them from the grave of the nations, and to reunite them under one King. It is one of the most hope filled passages in Scripture, and the foundation for everything the final weeks of this series will explore.

Text: Ezekiel 36:22–38; Ezekiel 37:1–28

Key Verse: “And I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live.” — Ezekiel 37:14 (ESV)

In this message:

•  Why God does it all “for the sake of my holy name” — and why that’s better news than if He didn’t

•  The heart of stone removed and the heart of flesh given

•  The Hebrew ruach — breath, wind, and Spirit — and why only the Spirit makes the dead live

•  “These bones are the whole house of Israel” — a specific promise to a specific people

•  Why the dry-bones miracle is also the story of what happened to every believer
